The relationship between writer and editor is crucial. Ask any published writer, and they will probably admit (if grudgingly) that their editor helped them make a better book.
The editor does not merely acquire a book for a publisher. (...)

My apologies, this has been a lessical error from my part. I'm italian, and the italian term "editore" in english mean "publisher": I should had remembered better the lessons about false similarities in translations!!!
My tirade was intended not on the figure of the editor in the english meaning of the word, but on the publishers and the huge slice they eat off the pie of the cover price of a book (and of a music product even more!).
Again, I'm sorry for the qui pro quo...
